I had recently bought a Samsung E252 (comperable with R522) which have nearly the same Fn-Keys like the NC10. But have a Core2Duo-CPU inside so it runs properly with a 64bit-Kernel. How I get the Fn-functions also in this Notbook like the NC10? Were the differences to the NC10-Kernel too much for compiling a 64bit-Issue?

Your Fn-Key-Sripts are running well, but only Fn-Sleep, Fn2 , Brightness und Fn10-12 will do, Fn4 - Fn9 are without response. I had done a workaround with desktop-icons.

The Fn-F9 script is specific for the wireless card used by NC10. It removes/inserts the 'ath5k' module in order to toggle the wireless. It's highly probable that the E252 uses a different wireless device, so you have to modify the script and let it work with the kernel module you need.Easily done: open the file '/usr/lib/nc10/wifi.sh' and replace every 'ath5k' instance with the name of the kernel module for your wireless device.

About the Fn-F4, first of all check if and how it's recognized by using the 'xev' command line utility, then let me know.

Please consider a little donation to keep the 'Linux On My Samsung' project up and running. Thank you!

I also have problems with the USB Modem using the same kernel on Karmic. However there the USB modem is just not recognised and the bug 446146 applies. NetworkManager does not crash.

Here I am on Jaunty using Voria's 2.6.31-14 kernel. Using the USB E169 modem here causes NetworkManager to crash and it will not restart until removed. Going back to the current Jaunty kernel (2.6.28-15) fixes the problem.

With this info, there must be something wrong in the 2.6.31 kernel that 1) does not allow the USB modem to work and 2) subsequently crashes NM.

Any advice on how to go about trying to identify the cause of the NM crash. This is what I see in the /var/log/syslog when starting NM with the USB stick in.

This set of messages is repeated until I remove the stick. NM has stopped and will not start. Last time removing the stick also took out hald. Once NM and hald were restart then networking was back to normal.

My USB modem is being correctly picked up. Yes, it is seen as usb-storage initially and using the commands listed in that link do help. However NetworkManager is still dead.

Remember that my USB modem works perfectly with the Jaunty 2.6.28 kernel. The USB stick is recognised and works first time with NetworkManager.

I suppose I will just have to wait until they fix the issue in the Karmic kernel (2.6.31-whatever) and then hopefully Voria will publish that kernel for Jaunty.

[Personally I would like to see Jaunty supported for a while longer as Voria, who is providing such a useful service to the NC10 community, is thinking of dropping all support except for Karmic once it is GA. I think that Karmic has too many open bugs at present whereas, for me, Jaunty is very stable.]
